Blender renders solid color square instead of image
i would recommend to NOT lock the camera to the view, because then the camera is always changing its position whenever you move the view -&gt; so uncheck this

in the shading preview you do not see what the camera sees. You see just your selected object. This view has nothing to do with the camera.

instead tap on this icon here (the most right one) -&gt; this shows your camera view, if ...




you tap on this camera icon



and then this text appears: Camera perspective



then you see a frame ...everything in this frame is your &quot;real&quot; camera view.


Happy rendering!
